Omsk Governorate
Omsk Governorate is an administrative-territorial unit of the RSFSR, which existed in 1920–1925.
The provincial center is the city of Omsk.
History
Background
Omsk Governorate became the successor of the Omsk Region as part of the Akmola, Atbasar, Kalachin, Kokchetav, Omsk, Petropavlovsk, Tatar County. At the same time, the Slavgorod County was transferred to the Altai County, Tar County to the Tyumen County.As the Civil War continued in the region, it reached the point of awkwardness: the Whites called the administrative-territorial unit — Omsk Oblast, and the Reds — Omsk Governorate. During this period, there were two names at the same time.
By the All-Russian Central Executive Committee Resolution of August 27, 1919, "On the Formation of Civil Administration in Siberia," the Siberian Revolutionary Committee was given control over the newly formed governorates, including those in the territory occupied by the Kolchakites. The Ishimsky, Tara, Tyukalinsky Uyezd of the Tyumen Governorate were annexed to the Omsk Governorate.
Only by November 14, 1919, Omsk was occupied by the Reds during the Omsk Offensive Operation.
On November 15, 1919, by the decree of the Siberian Revolutionary Committee and the Revolutionary Military Council of the 5th Army of the Red Army, the Omsk Revolutionary Committee was formed in the city of Chelyabinsk.
On November 24, 1919, the Omsk Provincial Revolutionary Committee was formed.
At the end of November 1919, the institutions of the Siberian Revolutionary Committee moved to Omsk.
On December 5, 1919, the Kalachinsk District was restored again.
Formation of the Governorate
By the Siberian Revolutionary Committee resolution of January 3, 1920, Omsk Oblast was officially transformed into Omsk Governorate consisting of 1 district: Semipalatinsk District.In June 1920, Ishim District consisting of 49 volosts was transferred to Tyumen Governorate.
In January 1921, the Slavgorod district consisting of 52 volosts was transferred from the Altai province.
In 1921, some of the districts of the province supported the West Siberian Uprising, especially the mass unrest was in the Tyukalinsky and Tarsky districts.
As a punishment for the Russian people, who rose up in Southern Siberia against the communist dictatorship, in 1921 four counties with indigenous Russian populations were torn away from the Omsk province and included in the Autonomous Kirghiz SSR, created by decree of V. I. Lenin on August 26, 1920. The opinion of the local Russian population was not taken into account.
According to the first Soviet census of 1920: Petropavlovsk district included 27 Russian volosts and 12 Russian stanitsas, Kokchetav district included 68 Russian volosts.
On January 17, 1921, the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of the RSFSR adopted a resolution on the division of the Russian Omsk Governorate and the transfer of four Russian-populated districts to the Autonomous Kirghiz SSR: Akmola, Atbasar, Kokchetav, and Petropavlovsk. From the districts severed from the Omsk Governorate, a new Akmola Governorate was created with its center in the city of Petropavlovsk as part of the Autonomous Kirghiz SSR.
On April 26, 1921, a resolution of the Extraordinary Plenipotentiary Commission of the Central Executive Committee of the Autonomous Kirghiz SSR was issued on the admission of the new Akmola province with Petropavlovsk and Kokchetav to the AKSSR.
A resolution of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of June 10, 1921 established the border between the Kirghiz ASSR and Siberia along the Omsk district. The border line passed east of the Isil-Kul station along the border with the Petropavlovsk district, then north of the Kichi-Karoy and Ulkun-Karoy lakes, the Kara-Terek tract, adhering to the southern borders of the Russian volosts and reaching the Cherlakovskaya village on the Irtysh, with the Russian volosts — Orekhovskaya, Dobrovolskaya, Moiseyevskaya, Russko-Polyanskaya, Novo-Sanzharovskaya, Chernousovskaya, Stepanovskaya, Kotelnikovskaya — being added to the territory of the Kirghiz ASSR. The Isil-Kulskaya and Gorodishchenskaya volosts were transferred to the Petropavlovsk district of the Akmola province. By the decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of June 13, 1921, the Baklushevskaya, Volchanskaya, and Lyalikskaya volosts were transferred to the Kargatsky Uyezd of the Novo-Nikolaevskaya Governorate.
In the summer of 1921, as a result of drought, a fifth of the country's crops perished. Famine affected 30 governorates, including the Omsk Governorate.
The Tatarsky Uyezd included 9 volosts of the Kainsky Uyezd of the Tomsk Governorate.
On October 1, 1921, Akmola, Atbasar, Kokchetav, Petropavlovsk districts, as well as 15 volosts of Omsk district went to the Kirghiz ASSR.
By January 1, 1922, the area of the province was 250,553 km2.
By the Decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of January 12, 1922, the Isil-Kul station was left within the borders of Siberia.
By the Decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of May 15, 1922, the Cherlak and Basstandyk-Tuus volosts were transferred to the Kirghiz ASSR.
By the Decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of May 28, 1922, the Isil-Kul and Gorodishchenskaya volosts were returned from the Petropavlovsk district of the Akmola province.
By the Decree of the NKVD of July 31, 1922, the Bazhenovskaya, Bolshe-Mogilskaya, and Lyubinskaya volosts of the Tyukalinsky district were annexed to the Omsky district. The following Kirghiz volosts were formed in the Omsky district:
- Pokrovo-Kirghiz volost — from auls No. 1, No. 2 of the Alabatinsky volost, 5 auls of the Pokrovskaya volost, 2 auls and 20 kibitkas of aul No. 2 of the Tekinsky volost, with the center at the Sasyk-Tomar tract;
- Ebeytinskaya volost — from aul #2 and 170 kibitkas of auls #1, #3, #5, #6 of Kurgan volost, auls #8, #9 and 70 kibitkas from aul #3 of Nikolaevskaya volost, with the center on Lake Ebeyty.
The settlement by the decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of February 14, 1923, the Pleso-Kurinskaya volost of the Kamensky district of the Novo-Nikolaevskaya province was transferred to the Slavgorod district of the Omsk province.
In 1923, the "Bulletin of the Omsk Provincial Executive Committee of the Council of Workers, Peasants, and Red Army Deputies" began to be published in Omsk.
By the resolution of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of May 31, 1924, the center of the Omsk district was moved from the city of Omsk to the city of Novo-Omsk.
By May–June 1924, rural councils were formed in the province, which were distinguished by their extreme diversity, both in the rural societies united by the village council, and in the size of the village councils and their executive technical apparatus. By this time, the transition to large-district division had been implemented in Siberia only in the Omsk province. Instead of 252 volosts, 52 districts were formed, but they existed unofficially, since they were not approved by either the SRK or the VTsIK. It is worth noting the enormous size of the "Omsk districts". Thus, in the Achairsky district, the distance to the district center was from 8 to 70 versts. In the Novinsky district, there were 29 village councils.
On September 24, 1924, the Sibrevkom approved the formation of enlarged volosts in the Omsk province. New Soviet volosts were formed. A volost included from 3 to 19 village councils. The new tasks were beyond the old volost, it was weak, insufficiently organized, and had few people capable of carrying out Soviet construction in the village. The volost executive committees of the enlarged volosts now received a large amount of economic, administrative and political rights and were freed from minor management functions, transferring them to the village councils.
At the end of 1924, the Dobrovolskaya and Znamenskaya volosts of the Kamensky district of the Novo-Nikolaevsk province were included in the Slavgorod district.
By January 1, 1925, the area of the province reached 250,114 km2.
On May 21, 1925, the administrative commission under the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee approved the following cities in the province: Omsk, Novo-Omsk, Leninsk-Omsky, Tara, Tyukalinsk, Slavgorod, Tatarsk. To distinguish the cities of Leninsk, the cities were given the names "Leninsk-Omsky" and "Leninsk-Kuznetsky". The city of Kalachinsk was transformed into a village.
Liquidation
The Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of May 25, 1925 approved the formation of the Siberian Territory with its division into districts and regions. The counties were transformed into Omsk, Slavgorod, Tarsky Okrug and Siberian Territory. Kalachinsky and Tyukalinsky counties were included in the Omsk Okrug. Part of the Tatarsky Uyezd was included in the Barabinsky and Slavgorodsky Okrugs.Administrative-territorial division
